Yep. It's something we all do, using a reader that's been raved about to us. Every reader I've been recommended so far by people I've been underwhelmed by (apart from Aries Intuition, who was decent). Talking of Aries, because there are so many comments on here saying how she validated well but nothing came true, it automatically puts a panic alarm in my brain and that's when people on here begin to panic and call other readers up. It's one huge slippery slope.
Also, because there is free will and rarely do predictions come through (when involving other people), I just don't see the point of readings, because you're spending money to ask for a gamble on if the ex will come back. Timescales extend, excuses made, before you know it - your ex is happily married. When I get over my calling addiction, I'll never use readings apart from what I was brought up to use them for - speaking to mediums who bring in deceased loved ones, because there's no point in having readings if the future can change constantly. You wouldn't place a bet in a bettings shop if the scenario/bet was constantly changing, as you know you'd never win.
Rarely do things pan out the way a reader sees them, and when people write "they were right, but years out with another person" - is that good enough? Most of the time, it's so generic. Sometimes readers predict things and they do happen to be out with timings, but on the same person, which isn't their fault. They aren't God, and there's no sense of timing in the spirit world. I struggle to understand though readers mixing up energies. I believe our energies all are different like we are as people. They rarely rarely mix up your grandparents or your deceased Father for your Uncle. Almost all mediums are able to distinguish which family member in the spirit world is which. So they'll pick up your grandparent on Mother's side or Father's side. They can pick up on a "Mother" or "Father" energy. Why do they mix up someone who you are closely connected to now, with someone else way down the line? Some people might think I have unrealistic expectations of readers, but I disagree. Readers claim to be "psychic", so should be able to pick these things up. In Yona's case I can understand why she mixes people up and gets things slightly differed because she is not psychic, and is solely a fortune teller. I've seen a medium in person who trained at the Arthur Findlay College, and she got everything spot on about an ex (which was negative). No mix ups, no "happened, but years out with another person". I think truly gifted mediums can read individual energies with no mix ups.
